Echelon Neuron - Manual (Page 14)

where –switches define any optional command-line switches (see NAS
Command Switches) and file.ns specifies the source input file to assemble.
The command-line tools are installed in the LonWorks\bin directory.
For example, the following command runs the Neuron Assembler, assembles the
abc.ns source file, and generates an abc.no object file in the same directory:
NAS abc.ns
Command Usage
The following command usage notes apply to running the nas command:
• If no command switches or arguments follow the command name, the tool
responds with usage hints and a list of available command switches.
• Most command switches come in two forms: A short form and a long
form.
The short form consists of a single, case-sensitive, character that
identifies the command, and must be prefixed with a single forward slash
'/' or a single dash '-'. Short command switches can be separated from
their respective values with a single space or an equal sign. Short
command switches do not require a separator; the value can follow the
command identifier immediately.
The long form consists of the verbose, case-sensitive, name of the
command, and must be prefixed with a double dash '- -'. Long command
switches require a separator, which can consist of a single space or an
equal sign.
Examples:
Short form: nas –l …
Long form: nas --listing …
• Multiple command switches can be separated by a single space.
• Commands of a Boolean type need not be followed by a value. In this
case, the value yes is assumed. Possible values for Boolean commands
are yes, on, 1, +, no, off, 0, - (a minus sign or dash).
Examples:
nas --listing=yes abc.ns
nas --listing abc.ns
• Command switches can appear at any location within the command line
or in any order (on separate lines) within a script.
NAS Command Switches
Table 1 lists the available command switches for the nas command. All
switches are optional.
